With a whopping 976 acres to explore, McAllister Park is one of the biggest parks in San Antonio and a clear favorite among cyclists. Offering more than 15 miles of both paved and unpaved single-track mountain bike trails, it’s easy to customize your own route and work up a sweat—no matter your skill level. McAllister also connects to the Salado Creek Greenway, offering an additional 8 miles of pedaling. Be sure to watch your speed, though: Wildlife, especially deer, is abundant.
